This study on clinical anophthalmos in 15 patients highlights the need for early prosthetic fitting and a multidisciplinary approach for better rehabilitation outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Ophthalmology
  • Clinical Genetics

Background:

  • Clinical anophthalmos presents a significant challenge in pediatric care.
  • Associated systemic and ocular anomalies are common in affected individuals.
  • Identifying underlying etiologies for anophthalmos remains difficult.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical characteristics and management of 15 patients with anophthalmos.
  • To evaluate the outcomes of orbital reconstruction and prosthetic fitting.
  • To emphasize the importance of a comprehensive management strategy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series of 15 patients diagnosed with clinical anophthalmos.
  • Review of clinical data, including systemic and ocular anomalies.

  • Analysis of surgical interventions (orbital reconstruction, socket enlargement) and prosthetic fitting outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • 15 patients (10 boys, 5 girls) with clinical anophthalmos were studied.
    • Two patients had bilateral anophthalmos; 10 had systemic anomalies; six had abnormalities of the fellow eye.
    • Only two cases had a clear underlying etiology; 14 patients underwent surgical interventions with varied success.

    Conclusions:

    • Early prosthetic fitting and avoidance of unnecessary lid procedures are recommended.
    • A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for effective rehabilitation in anophthalmos patients.
    • Further research into the etiology of anophthalmos is warranted.
